When life gets messy, all too often we try to avoid the difficult and overwhelming emotions that inevitably pop up. We tend to label our feelings as “good” or “bad,” and we think that we’ll thrive if we can just get rid of the difficult ones.

But what if we’re actually supposed to embrace all the emotions? Susan David explains that emotional agility, rather than simply “good” feelings, is the key to resilience and thriving. If you’re feeling worn out from holding it all together, or numbing out with distractions, food, or alcohol, this episode is for you.

Do you have the courage to embrace your emotions?
